Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Anne (a P►incess of Saxe-Coburg Saalfeld,) arrived here yesterday on her way from Switzerland to Coburg. VIENNA, SEPT. ti.—iVletalliques, 91i ; Bank Shares, 1083 i. Our Readers will be much shocked at the details . given in a preceding column, of an investigation which has taken place at Manchester, in cOnseqiiipce of a report that two human beings, a brother and sister, had died of starvation. The result proved, that the death of theSe unfortunate persons was occasioned by an epidemic disease, but which bad its origin in the want of a sufficient quantity of food, and was rendered more virulent by the filth and bad air of a cellar in which, with other persons, they dwelt. It appears' that these persons did not apply for parish relief until 14 days bad elapsed after their arrival in Manchester, from an unsuccessful journey into Lincolnshire, to obtain work ; and that the relief, scanty and insuffi cient in its nature, Caine too late to preserve the lives of two out of the wretched party which were huddled together. The details of their horrible state are too sickening to be repeated here, but are well calculated . to awaken the sympathy and the concern of all, that such a state of things as is described should exist in England. Why, it will be asked, did these Un fortunate persons forbear to, apply . for parish re ? The answer is given in the details we have published. They feared being sent back to Ire land ! preferring the chance of being assisted by eleemosynary relief in Manchester, or even of dying there by starvation, to the fatigues of the journey to their native place in Ireland, and the certainty on their return to it, of being left destitute of the means of subsistence. Does not this one circumstance, we would ask, argue forcibly against the continuance of a different system -for the relief of the poor in England l and in Ireland ? and does it not prove in a powerful degree the necessity of extending to Ireland the principles of the English Poor Laws, which prevent the possibility of a human creature being actually starved to death in this coun try, except in-a case like the present, where the dread of that which was considered a still greater punishment, stared the unhappy sufferers in the face ? We have frequently advocated the establishment of a system of Poor Laws in Ireland, founded on the principles laid down in the Statute of 43d Elizabeth : and we are daily convinced, more and more strongly, that in the adoption of such a measure, the state of Ireland, and the happiness of its inhabitants, would re ceive a greater amelioration than in any other plan, which could be suggested. The hero of Wimbonie Petty Sessions will shortly eclipse his renowned prototype of BARATARIA nt the excellence of his wisdom, and the sober demeanour of his judicial conduct. HENRY BA Nic Rs, Esq. may write very learnedly on constitutional histories abroad, but he acts very unconstitutionally at home. If we recollect rightly, it was this constitutional sage who prophesied the most woful consequences to result from the spread of knowledge among the lower orders, and the increasing intelligence of the age. He was no doubt apprehensive that too many critics might arise— those thorns in a poor author's side—and copying the example of the Dorset apple boys, might pluck away the mellow fruits of his reputation. Poor man it is really hopeful to behold such convincing proofs of his candid ability to act, and we may say judge, impartially—for he well knows that " Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss," and yet with unaccountable consistency he will not allow . another scribe to practice in his Court —no other pen must flourish there for the benefit of the present age, or the admiration of posterity, but his own grey goose quill ! Admirable historian ! He could not give the world a better proof of his cool, im partial ability to do justice to both sides of a clues than the masterpiece of Friday last, when lie actually ran away from hearing one side ! Pretty sam ple of moderation in a sedate Senator and accorn- Palled Justice ! The very apple boys must have danced applause at such an exhibition of Magisterial gravity run wild—but " Let them cant about decorum Who have characters to lose." It would appear by the report that the worthy, Chairman having once utteted a prohibition, it must remain as irreversible as the laws of the Medes and Persians. Xt Wks idle for the reporter to hope to instruct a man who had devoured the' sages of antiquity, and all, till he might be said to realise in his own person the at Oreat historian eminently read, With stores of learne►l lumber in his head !" for he had read all and heard all that could be said upon the, subject. Excellent reader, and most upright judge ; but what a modest Speaker! why he was afraid to hear the echo of his own voice in the chair of justice. He fame might was A f ra id that a report of his judicial migo down to posterity, and bear away the palm from his his toriCal research. Truly we are at a loss to comprehend 0* meaning ofpll this exclusive right in Mr. BAN K ES, tO sib in judgment upon his fellow-subjects, and to ex `press so much alarm at a fair report or the proceedings going forth to the public. If he act honestly, he can nave no cause for apprehension, and to sup pose that he could act otherwise is absurd, if we consider his long-tried patriotism and exalted libe rality, The upshot of the business was, that as the Reporter insisted upon his right of doing what he , concei v ed t o b e his duty, the. Chairman neglected nia) and abruptly left the Court—and most of the cases as_ they were . Thi s su blime proof of firmness and mo deration —is worthy of being recorded in the last edition his decline and fall of the Dorset Bench." THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDAtu and Mr. Justice GA SELEE.) MANSLAUGHTER. henry Ryder, a smith, aged 52, stood indicted for kill. ing and slay►ng John Nicholas o►► the 28th day of Aug,us, last. Henry Seymour, a surgeon for Westminster Hospital— I knew John Nicholas, deceased. He was brought to the hospital on the 28th August, in a fit of intoxication. He had s wound on the back part of the head, and also one on the under lip. This was on Monday. On Tuesday he was better, and began to recover his senses ; on Wednes day he was worse, became delirious, and died on Thursday morning, at four o'clock; his head was subsequently opened, and the cause of his death was from great injury done to the brain, occasioned apparently by a bl ow or fall. A blow .of the fist could certainly not occasion it. It might have happened by a fall; a man falling by himself would occasion it, or it might have been occasioned by a fall from a violent blow struck by another. Every atten tion was paid to him. Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY—The deceased was very much intoxicated; whether his loss of senses was oc casioned from the injury in the head, or the drink he had taken, I don't know. rhe injury might have been much increased from the intoxication. By the COURT--It is impossible to tell whether the de ceased died from inflammation increased b tion, or the full itself. The injury from they the intoxica as might have occasioned death, independent of y ''s such inflam mation from i ntoxication, b ut can't say whether tle bi de-- deceased died, from that alone, or from inflammation in- creased by drunkenness. t George Swambleton—l knew the d e c ease d• he was a bricklayer; I r emember seein g him on the 28th of August in York-street , Westminster; he then appear e d t o meo be very much in liquor; I remember also seeing the pri soner Ryde in Y ork-street; I did not know him before ; ensoner • it w a s then nearly seven o'clock in the evening ; they both spoke to each other ; Ry der spoke first ; he sa p id " How iu „'e you, old Chelsea ?" he wile not a Chelsea Ryder said " You are drunk," eased said What i that 's to you ?" after some further conversation decea.sed put himself into g fighting attitude; the prisoner pushed de ceased down; I told the prisoner to go away ; the de- Ceased " 40 was going away, and the prisoner told him to come in the mouth which into the middle of the road and he would give him a good one; they went accordingly, and the prisoner hit deceased back of his head • he became quite insen- Bible ; his head bled knocked him down and fractured th e ./ and afternoon, wini taken to the hospital ; the prisoner was then detained, Cro ss . exam . 1 knewined.bY Mr. BARRV—ThiI was of pot of beethe prisoner for thirty years; I partook on Monday in the r with him on that. ay ;he was intoxicated prisoner evening,scok but was not so when I left him. The e first in a friend y Inann6, when he and deceased met; he spoke thing but one ti • 'r; deceased answered, " you are every thin;; ; • deceasedshowed used the word jannock deceased to go awa;owedlight, Prisoner in fact, desired "d was called back by decoßetl.-- The parties were not deceased fell the last tirZar enough the curb stone whe n c, for deceas ed's head to hav e struck the stone. George Pawn—l saw the prisoner and deceased on the night in question; deceased approached the prisoner in a fighting attitude ; atilt faltieLutruck the month, who immediately fell wits head on the curb-stone. I lieard 4 tlie44l-forty- yards..off I caree.iffiao Alit deceased; I tlrefewOnt4o the prisoner • and saidozbulave done the (laid 4mtl-must - wnswtrvfor -ileCesseci-4a*-iinmediately taken to the hospital; prisoner very calmly saio, "had we not better gri to the ltttsprtil, to spe• how Nicholas was.— . We Nvel4 togetll4;" rgaVe hiWaltd - tristody. Cross-examined—When We got to the hospital, deceased was bleeding. The prisoner seemed to regret what had happened, and to,feel for the situation of the deceased. I did not know either of the parties. I have ascertained since that, they were known to each other. Deceased had not the power of striking prisoner after I saw them, he having been knocked down at that time. Did not hear prisoner say, if that's what you want, come on! William Westwood was present when the affray took place. Deceased struck at the prisoner across my arm twice before prisoner struck him. Prisoner kocked de ceased down by the blow on the mouth. My, opinion is, that deceased's intention was to fight. • Other witnesses were called, who corroborated the above statements. . The prisoner being now called on for his defence, put in a written paper, which stated, that on the night in ques tion having met deceased, and knowing him, he said, " Is that you, old boy? I see you have got your load, and you had better make the best of your way home." De ceased then said, " You are every thing but one—you are not jannock," meaning, you are not good in every respect; and deceased struck him twice on the breast. Thinking was in joke, be went away, as somebody advised him, without taking further notice of him. Deceased ibllowed him, and hit him twice more on the neck. He turned round, and asked if he was in earnest; deceased said yes, and then he invited him on to the road, off the pave ment. When they got there deceased attempted to strike, but he (prisoner) knocked him down. He had no animosity towards deceased, was sorry for what had happened; never had any intention seriously to hurt him ; had been in the army for eight years, and an honest workman for twenty years, and had a wife and family wholly dependent on his exertions ; his wife saw deceased on the following day in the Hospital, who told her that he was sorry for prisoner's confinement , as he himself had been wholly to blame. Two witnesses were called, with one of whom prisoner had worked seven years and a half, and the other had known him for fourteen , years. They gave him an excellent character. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, in summing up, thought the Jury ought at once to discharge the prisoner from the capital charge in the indictment of murder ; but that it would be for them to consider whether, upon the whole of the evidence, the prisoner was guilty of manslaughter. —The provocation had clearly been given in the first in stance by the deceased, but the law did not authorise a man to do as the prisoner had done. The Jury retired for 10 minutes, and then returned a verdict of Kot Guilty. BURGLARY. John William Wilson and Thomas Walker were indicted for breaking and entering. the • dwelling house of Samuel Harley, in the parish of St. Luke, and stealing four tea spoons, two gold rings, and other articles. Samuel Harley deposed that he was a saddler, living at 101, Bunhill-row. On Sunday, the 4th of July, he left home with the whole of his family; on his way home, about eleven o'clock at night, he was informed that his house had been broken into and robbed. On entering the house, he found that the articles specified in the indictment had been taken away. The cruet-stand and spoons were his property; the rings were his daughter's. He saw the whole of the articles afterwards at the watch-house. Cross-examined byMr. biess's family consisted of his wife, son, and two daughters; had no lodgers in the house at the time in question; was sure he locked the door when he went away. Marianne Reid is a servant to Mr. Young, residing near to the prosecutor ; on the night in questiOn was standing at her master's parlour window ; this was at 20 minutes past six ; saw the prisoner Wilson and some one else come out of a public-house, and went to Mr. Harley's door; there they shook hands and parted. Wilson crossed the street, and returned a short way, where he met two other per sons, one of whom was the prisoner Walker. They all three went to Mr. Harley's house, where one of them took something out of his pocket, and put into the key-hole, and Walker knocked very loud several times. I went to them and told them that Mr. Harley and his family were all from home. I then left them and went to the public-house, where I told. what I had seen and done. The landlord said, notuense. I afterwards went to a per son's named Dicks, to whom I related the story. Mr. Dicks soon afterwards went to the house of the prosecu air, both bells of which he pulled violently. After the bells rung, Walker ran out of the house, and Wilson was collared in the passage. Henry Boucher took Walker, whom he saw come out of the house; took him to the watch-house, and saw him searched. . , • John Cuttle searched the house,. but could find no third person in it. The house up stairs seemed to be very much in a litter. James Martin found the four spoons in the passage. The prosecutor identified the cruet and spoons, and his daughter the rings. The prisoners made no defence. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Gnilly against both the prisoners —Death. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and a Middlesex Jury.) BIGAMY. Thomas Taylor, whose name is so familiar to the public, in the double capacity of plaintiff and defendant, on charge of crim. con. and bigamy, was this day put to the bar to take his trial for the latter. The case excited considerable interest on account of the circumstances whicli'induced the prosecution. The Court was crowded to excess. Messrs. Anot.Pum and Bnongittex appeared as Coun sels far the prosecution, and Messrs. ALLEY and PHILLIPS tin' the defendant. , Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case. This, he said, was one of those offences against society, which is punished accord ing to circumstances; the heaviest punishment that could be inflicted was transportation for seven years.- He would not detain the Jury with any further observations, but call witnesses to prove the facts stated in the indictment. John Inskip examined by Mr. BRODERICK.—Was a clerk in Mr. Harmer's office. The paper which -he pro. duced was an examined copy of the marriage register of theGresely, et the parish church of Raiford, l Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY—Did not find the re. lri ; ° Nottinghamshire,ner with Aiml : ittlo9. gister in the church, but with the Vicar, where it was al ways kept. Mr. ALLEY—That's more than you know. Witness—James Fuykes was along with me, who was the subscribing witness to the marriag e . Mr. ALLEY—That's more than you can tell. The paper being then produced, Mr. Alley objected to o I t o ; ri s fiol e er y evidence, SiHo t h been w et: t , t a ils ar . s e ta o t f np t , he as re t i l e w . Act requires. a pN Mr. ADOLPHUS—The Act requires that for a Certificate; vuncy of the objection ; but it was every day's practice to admit such without a stamp. _ The objection was consequently overruled, and the copy read, as fellows. _ Thomas Taylor, a bachelor, and Ann Gresely, have been married by banns, at the parish church of Ratford, Nottinghamshire, on the 28th of March, 1809. (Signed) Edward Creswell, Vicar. Underneath the copy were the following lines :-- . I certify, that the above is a true copy of the marriage of Thomas Taylor with Ann Gresely, as entered in the Register. There being no sOiature to this certificate, Wit ' ilebs was asked who wrote it, he replied that he wrote it himself for the Clergyman to sign, but that the latter re fused to sign it unless on a 55. stamp. Mr. BRODERICK—That corroborates our statement that a stamp is not required except for a certificate. Mr. ALLEY---There is no proof that this: copy has been taken from , the Iroper4egister.. The only r vidtmce is, that it has been taken-fronta:bookivhich some one told witness was the registei..ne. Learned. Cnunsel tltt , ll read an.ex tract from an Act OfParliatnent,..requirittv that a chest Should be kept in every parisb 'church, for tht , purpose of having all registers deposited therein. The COMMON SERGEANT apprehended the register hav ing been found in proper custody was sufficient proof of its authenticity. He would allow the Learned Counsel :the benefit of the objection, but would not stop the trial on account of it. . Cross-examination of witness resumed—Bad not been sent by Mr. Heapy of the Stock - Exchange for this copy ; the prosecution was carried on by Mr. Heapy. Mr. ALLEY—Was it not publicly stated that be was the : prosecutor? Mr. ADOLPHUS desired witness not to answer that ques tion. Public statement bad nothing to do with the case before - the Jury. • Mr. Al.t.vv apprehended that what had been stated by those entrusted with the management of the prosecution, ought to be admitted as evidence. The COMMON SERGEANT overruled the question. By Mr. ALLEY—Mr..Dopson,.a merchant in Bucklers bury, carried on the prosecution. John Fuykes, examined by Mr. Anol-Pu6s. - -Vas L. lace-maker at Retford. Edward Cresawell, whose name was to the copy of the marriage-register, was Vicar of that parish; knew the prisoner for several years; was present at his marriage with Ann Gresely in 1809; was a subscribing witness to the marriage in the • register; they lived together (prisoner and his wife) for a month after the marriage in witness's house; in consequence of a quarrel, went off and left his wife behind him; witness was his brother-in-law; prisoner returned to his wife some time after ; had frequently seen that wife since; saw her this morning. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—This marriage took place seventeen years. ago ; did not know how old the pri soner was then ; he might be fifty years for aught he knew, but would not think so from his appearance; did not know that he was no more than. seventeen years; had frequently • seen the first wife since she was at present in town ; was not aware that she had any hand in the prosecution. By the COURT—She bad not lived at Retford for some time back; she lived at Birmingham; did not know that she had been kept by another man, but heard that she was Ithusekeeper to some one there; never knew any of the. prisoner's family ; heard that they lived at Birmingham. John George • Leigh examined by-. Mr. BRODERICK—, Produced the marriage register of St. George's Church, Hanover-square, in which was recorded the marriage of Thomas Taylor with Sarah Bond, May 6, 181.9. Ann,Bond was then called, but did nut answer to. her, name. Mr. PHILLIPS—I hope she is not put out of the way, for she is an important witness for us. A search was then made, but she could no where be found. • • Mr. ALLEY . and Mr. PHILLIPS expressed their indigna tion at the prosecutor not bringing forward this witness, who could give material evidence on the part of the pri soner. She had been examined at Bow-street, and he could not see why she should not be produced on this occa sion, as her evidence there had given a wrong impression. The Solicitor for the prosecution stated, that he had brought her there this morning, and that it was not his fault if she were not forthcoming. Mr. ADOLPHUS—Let her be called on her recognizances. The propriety of examining other witnesses until a fur ther search should be made was suggested, and James Freeth was examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Lived at Birmingham ; was a shop-keeper, and married to the sister of prisoner ; she had been dead sonic time. The father, brother, and several of the prisoner's family lived at Birmingham for many years ; knew the prisoner's wife; saw her last this morning; saw her three weeks ago at Birmingham, The family of the prisoner -were well aware that she lived there. She had now been about fifteen years at Birmingham; prisoner lived two years in Birming ham after his marriage; saw him about nine years ago, at his father's 'house there, where he remained for about three weeks, during which period witness saw hint the or xi% times; his wife was there at that time; prisoner might hare easily known that. Thomas Taylor examined by Mr. AnoLritus.- - -Was father to the prisoner— - " What, what ?" said Mr. ALLEY, " putting the'father in the box against the son ? I never knew such a shame ful act in my life. This is just likesthe rest of the case— doubtless it is legal, but indelicate. I would not for my right hand .have done it." Mr. Apommus- - --Do you keep your right hand to your self, and we will put him in your box. Examination resumed.—Witness being asked to look . into the parish' register 'of St. George'i Church, and say whether that was prisoner's hand-writing subscribed to the marriage entry ? . thus - classically replied , " I can't say, for I nose not as how he can write at all." Examined by Mr. BthinEnicx—Prisoner was at his house eight or .nine years ago ; did nut know that pri- . minces wife was in Birmingham at the time ; could not Say bow long prisoner stopped there, as - he went off un known to witness. Two witnesses more were then examined, to prove the hand-writing of the prisoner, but could not swear to it. . Ann 'Bond was again called but did not appear, and there being no evidence of the second ma rr i age the COM MON SERGEANT directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner. They accordingly returned a verdict of .Not Guilty! on the announcement of which a sensation of joy was ma nifested in Court. Mr. PHILLIPS declared it was not through any inter. ference on behalf of the prisoner that Ann Bond had ab. rented herself. John Hewick, a man of colour, - was tried before a Jury, one;•half of whom were foreigners, and the other half Englishmen, for stealing a piece of cotton, the property of Mr. Robinson. - The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. - Riehitid Myal, a boy about ten yt ars of age, was indicted for stealiog two chairs valued .54 the property of Taylor.—Vertlict—Guilly.

St. Stunuel Furzeman ' chief co nsta bl e of S t. Giles ' s.stste il that it was one of the worst houses in the parish; frequently seen females of bad character entice drunken men to go in with them, who, when there, have been robbed; he has seen both teirudes and pickpockets stand- ,inif at the door in granites, and he has often been in pur suit of thieves, who have obtafned reenge in that house, and have escaped in consequence. .There have been fre quent riots in the place; in fact, no man could pass down the street without danger of being robbed and as saulted. Croas-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—It is a lodging house, where all persons may be indiscriminately _lodged. There are several other such dwellings in the parish. I have not been refused admittance within this last year, but had been before. There were both males and females of all ages there. John Green, beadle, corroborated this Atatement. WilliaM Price, a conductor of patrol, knew it to be the refuge of thieves, prostitutes, &e. • Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—Passed the house twice every . night, and had not seen any females en tice men to go into tie house with them. Mr. PREN - DERGAsm observed to the Jury that there was no evidence to prove the first count of the indictment, and contended .that the house was no other than a, common lodging house. • . Mr. MARRYATT, in summing up, observed, that by the laws of this country no wife, who acts under the direction of her husband, can be found guilty of the same offence. He therefore directed them to diScharge her, and left it to their own discretion whether the male prisoner was guilty or not. The Jury, after some hesitation, found the wife Not Guilty, and the busbtuid Guilty. _ - - Tlie CHAU:m.4N sentenced him to three mouths' hard labour.

The boatmen here are now practising round the Nayland lock, for the rowing match to-m orrow , f or a Silver Cup, given by James 'rudely, ENci. of Haat,— down. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. • THE - ST. LEGER STAKES. DOWCASTSR, Sarr. 17.—The first favourite really appears to us to be undeserving of the prominent station he holds in the odds In our humble opinion, was his the property of any other gentle man than Mr. Watt, the public would nut take 1,000 to 10 about him.. We shall not be the least surprised if he does not even get a place. his having beat Bedlumite, .doer not appear to us to speak much in his favour, for although Bedlamite is a nice looking racing-like horae, he sloes not go any pace; he has only cantered since he has been here; if this; preparation will win the Leger, the trouble other trainers take is.useless; putting this out of the ques tion, no Judge can find fault with his appearance.. Mulatto (who, with • the rest of Earl Fitiewilliam's horses, is trained about Ibur mile 4 frOm Doncaster, and will not be here till to-morrow), by his public running, is decidedly the best,‘und if Actreon was not stumped in his race with Memnon, he'll win, or be very near. The Dragon looks well, goes well, and is a better favourite than Crusader, Lord Wharncliffe having declared to win with him ; but we cannot divest ourselves of the recollection that Crusader beat Goshawk twice, and Goshawk beat the Dragon. If there is-any thing in public performance, Crusader will ha ve a good chance, if the Dragon bus, and w e should not be astonished to see him very near winning. Tarrare is a long legged beast,. with short pasterns, large belly, and appears to he as slow as a - man. The General looks well, and goes well—if ever he did so. Our old friend, Forth, is once snore certain. of teinninp ; his lot look well, and go tolerably ; but we fear it's no go for him this time. Fanny Davies will be " there, or thereabouts," sinless the report be trim,, that she will not start ; she•is a sweet filly; and very full of action. Paul Pry is wrong named ; he is nut that mining looking personage you would expect to see Ire ellosekl be re-christened " Cock Pheasant." Last, though riot least in the public estimation, comes the Duke of Leeds' Lisette filly ; if her temper does not stop her, she will be - as near as a toucher. ' There are many who will not be surprised if the following are the first four :—Mulatto, crusader, Fanny Davies, and Lisette. It is ex pected that about 2B will start. We subjoin the latest odds on the St. Leger ;- 2 to 1 , apt Belzoni (9 to 4 taken) 9 to 9 agst Bedlamite (5 to I ditto) 11 to 2 apt Mulatto (6 to I ditto) 13 to 1 ugst Turrare (14 to 1 ditto) • IS to I apt Crusader 20 to 1 ditto) 12 to I agat The Dragon (13 to 1 ditto) 20 to I apt The General (25 to 1 ditto) 20 to I agst Forth's lot. 80 to 1 ugst t,isette h 0 to 1 apt Garcia. • DONcAsTut, 7.443NDAy MORNING, TNN o'cllneK• BETTING AT TILE ORIGINAL ROOMS.
